Hi @Tara9267 , the role of consultants is pretty much the same regardless of the country that you want to study in. While the core services of a consultant remains the same, their approach might be different to address the specific challenges and opportunities you might face studying in the US vs Canada.

Hello @Lakshhhh , there can be a lot of challenges which you might face while preparing to study abroad. They can be helpful in providing you with some good university options based on your scores and overall profile. They can help with list of documents that is required and prepare for LOR and SOP.

There can be a scenario where your earlier scores or achievements do not look good then I would definitely suggest you to get some help from the education consultants. Moreover if you are too busy with your schedule & can’t get much time out for all the research and just kind of keep postponing it then definitely get the consultants to help you out.
However, personally, most of the information they provide is available for free on the internet. You can seek help from Alumni or portals like this.
